TRS activists creating hurdles in our T pursuit: TDP MLAs

Telugu Desam Partys MLA from Telangana region, Seethakka, Hemavathi and Hanumanth Shinde on Monday accused Telangana Rashtra Samithi activists of creating hurdles in the path of TDP activists who were trying to create awareness among the people on the separate state formation issue.

Talking to media persons at Assembly Media Point, the TDP leaders alleged that the TRS activists were behaving rudely and disrupting the TDP awareness campaigns on Telangana issue. “We are also working for a separate Telangana within our party. Why are you showing discrimination on TDP activists and why resorting to attacks?” they questioned. 

The TDP MLAs also questioned why TRS activists had not protested against former Kadapa MP YS Jaganmohan’s hunger fast on fee reimbursement.

The TDP leaders demanded that Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhar Rao should make public the ‘secret understanding he has with former Kadapa MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy.’

The MLAs also demanded that KCR himself should make his stand clear on the Telangana issue.

Later, senior TRS leader Harish Rao denied the allegations leveled by the TDP MLAs and stated that they are far from truth and baseless.

He told media persons at Assembly Media Point that the TDP members were resorting to double speak and denied that this party activists were creating hurdles in TDP path.

Harish Rao further asked why the TDP had not extended support to its no trust motion call against Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy.

The Siddipet MLA said that the TRS would take a decision on its relations with Mr Jaganmohan Reddy after he announces his new party. He said that the TRS would wait and watch if Mr Jaganmohan Reddy’s new party would extend support to the Telangana statehood demand.
